Education and training monitor 2025

Austria

Publication metadata

While Austrian students outperform most of their European peers, basic skills have decreased over the past decade. Education outcomes remain strongly linked to socio-economic and migrant background. Despite efforts to increase the number of places in ECEC, especially for under-3-year-olds, there are still not enough. Austria is focusing on developing a comprehensive quality monitoring system, including newly introduced standardised tests, improving reading skills through a dedicated framework and targeted initiatives, and improving the attractiveness of the teaching profession. STEM enrolment is above the EU average and Austria is undertaking a broad range of measure to further boost STEM education, particularly among women. The VET system offers work-based learning and graduates have high employment prospects. Recent VET reforms focus on green skills and sustainability. Tertiary educational attainment is increasing, and the Austrian government has announced works on a new higher education strategy. Adult learning participation is increasing too but is not yet at pre-pandemic levels.
